Engaging the world through sports.

The Sports Visitor and Sports Envoy programs enhance cross-cultural understanding and open avenues of dialogue between individuals and nations. An initiative of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, implemented through a cooperative agreement with FHI 360, the programs utilize the power of sports exchanges to create a foundation of trust needed to build a more stable, secure, and prosperous world.

Sports Envoys and former U.S. Women’s National Team members Lisa Berg and Lori Lindsey lead soccer clinics for you in Venezuela. 2016.

Programs

“This was my first time in the U.S. and first time at a camp like this. I fell in love with it because we learn how to be good at the basics and see how people and different countries play basketball and communicate on the court.

“We (campers) spent all day together for five days and my English has improved because of it. When you’re having fun, I guess you learn faster.”
